The last MGM/United Artists release to be released on home video by CBS/Fox Video.
Richard is loosely based on Richard Ramirez, the notorious "Night Stalker" who killed fourteen people in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas between April 1984 and August 1985. Victims reported the smell of "Leather" and had scary eyes.
The movie was originally supposed to go straight to video. However, director Gary Sherman felt that the movie was good and strong enough to go into a general theater release. MGM was more interested in putting the film direct to video on account of the lucrative profits it stood to make from it. Nevertheless, MGM allowed the movie to go into a limited theater release of about 200 theaters over a weekend. The movie made four million dollars in that one weekend prompting Sherman to push for a wider release. However, MGM eventually declined and put the movie straight to video and on HBO from which they made a substantial amount of money.
Staci Keanan's debut cinematic appearance.
Over the years, the movie has been erroneously given 1990 as the year of its release. However, the movie actually went into release overseas and in a limited amount of U.S. theaters at the end of 1989 before going into a larger release in 1990.
